Places in Monterrey to Celebrate National Holidays
Although the nation commemorates Independence Day on September 16th, the celebration begins the night of the 15th with the “Grito de Independencia” (Shout for Independence). This is a special occasion to share the spirit of freedom and unity. Streets and public spaces are adorned with the color of the Mexican flag.
Families and friends come together to honor this historic day. If you visit Monterrey, you will have plenty of ways and places to celebrate and enjoy this vibrant city. We recommend you:
Savor traditional food
Mexico boasts a rich gastronomy, and in September, you can savor seasonal dishes such as chile en nogada (stuffed poblano peppers with meat and fruits, covered with walnut sauce) or pozole. In Monterrey, you will find various restaurants offering a great selection of Mexican dishes, music and a festive atmosphere.
Celebrate at the Macroplaza
For an authentic celebration, head to the Macroplaza. Here, the governor of Nuevo Leon reenacts the historic cry, and the crowd cheers “Viva México”—an impressive moment followed by fireworks. The celebration continues with performances by renowned artists offering plenty of opportunities to dance, and sing along.
Visit Fundidora Park
Do not miss a visit to Monterrey’s main attraction, Fundidora Park. During the celebrations, you will find lively music festivals and might enjoy some traditional folkloric dances.
Discover the Mexican History Museum
If you want to learn more about Mexico, the Mexican History Museum is a must-visit. The museum provides a chronological perspective, making it easy for visitors to follow the historical narrative. In addition to historical topics, the Earth section offers fascinating information about Mexico’s biodiversity.
